- What big decision does Ender have to make? What are the reasons against it/for it? What does he decide? Why? What would you decide?
The decision is whether he is going to go to battle school. A reason for it is so he can become a commander like in the movies and especially so he can stay away from peter. He deosn’t want to go because he will miss his parents, valentine and a normal life. He decides to go with graff to battle schoolwhen he thought of all the movies of the bugger wars and especially because that graff said theat he might just save to world. I would go because I would want to get away from peter and because I had been selected as being the right person for the job.
